Bromine (Br)
Bromine (Br)
Discovered in 1826, bromine was not prepared in quantity until 1860.
Bromine is a nonmetallic liquid element. It is a heavy, reddish-brown liquid that produces a red vapor with a distinct and unpleasant odor. The vapor irritates the eyes and throat, and skin exposure results in painful sores.
Bromine reacts with many elements, is readily soluble in water or carbon disulfide, and can be extracted from natural brines and seawater.
Bromine is used in fumigants, flameproofing agents, water purification compounds, dyes, medicines, sanitizers, and photography chemicals. Organic and inorganic bromine compounds also have important applications in many industries.
